On New Year’s Eve, raucous revelers will flood downtown San Antonio bars and event venues. As party-goers ring in the New Year, the city’s busiest streets will see an ebb and flow of bar hoppers unaware of potentially dangerous situations. Start the New Year off right with safety tips from McRae Bail Bonds.
Safety Tips to Follow During San Antonio New Year’s Eve Events:
- Always be aware of your surroundings. Be on the lookout for strange or unusual behavior from other partygoers, and stay close to your friends.
- Avoid alleys and dimly lit areas of downtown San Antonio. If you find yourself in a strange place and need help, look for a well-lit area to phone a friend or member of your party.
- Ask a San Antonio police officer for help if you need it. You will see plenty of officers so if you need immediate assistance, do not hesitate to ask them for help.
- Don’t drink and drive. Remember, buzzed driving is drunk driving, and you need to have a designated driver ready to take you home after the New Year’s festivities are wrapped up and crowds have dissipated.
- Have a taxi phone number or ride-share app on your phone. Even if your designated driver promised not to imbibe, you may find that he or she could not resist the temptation of drunken revelry.
